Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
One of the four malts in Tomatin’s 2014 Cuatro Series, which took a single day’s production and matured the whisky for nine years in ex-Bourbon casks, then split up the whisky into four different styles of ex-Sherry butts for an additional 3+ years of maturation to gauge the impact of different cask finishes on the same basic spirit.
In this case, the Fino casks add light spices and dried flowers to the distillery’s characteristic soft and buttery nose, along with a touch of honey and an allspice note that develops with time. The taste is full of dark stewed fruits, lemon zest, dried flowers, and a hint of Christmas cake. The finish has smoothly fading spices with a nice fruitiness. (December, 2014)
